He could not speak out his love's preference, since that was forbidden in the USA and that is why his poems are all straight from the heart and so very touching! 5 Stars full

Allen Ginsberg, the famous NorthAmerican Poet, poetry was his all, he pourred his life, his love and most of the times his TEARS in his poems. His beloved Mom died in an asylum.

An excellent commentary of great imageries! 'my fingertips touching reality’s face, my own face streaked with tears in the mirror of some window—at dusk— where I have no desire—' - loved these poignant thoughts. Congratulations on the poem's selection as the 'Modern Poem of the Day'!

Inspiring straight spoken formula of poetry catches the reader to sit beside him. So smooth it comes to the unavoidable catastrophe where Manhattan is hero again. Excellent. never regained or desired in the mind to come where all Manhattan that I’ve seen must disappear......
